Its 5,969 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 64% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 498.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,394 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 17.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (20,582 t) and the lowest 2025 (5,969 t). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 63.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 53.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 34.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
